I suspect that the ideal endgame may end up all callers passing QUIET_ON_ERR and doing the error message themselves, e.g. branch.c::craete_branch() may end something like this: ... if (!dont_change_ref) if (ref_transaction_commit(..., UPDATE_REFS_QUIET_ON_ERR)) die_errno(_("Failed to write branch '%s'"), skip_prefix(ref.buf, "refs/heads/)); And in the meantime until the callers are converted, we may end up showing the fallback "Cannot commit transaction." but that would be OK during the development and polishing of this series. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
